Your Legal Resource for Alimony in Nevada
At Escobar & Associates, Ltd., we draw upon more than 25 years of legal experience when assisting clients with spousal support determinations. Traditionally called alimony, spousal support is a court order requiring one spouse to provide financial assistance to the other ex-spouse when a marriage ends.
Our founding attorney, Christy Brad Escobar, can help you through your divorce proceedings and determine if spousal support is warranted in your situation. Call our Las Vegas office at 888-339-6061 to set up a confidential appointment to discuss your marriage and alimony or contact us online.
Spousal Support Orders Can be Complex
There is no formula for alimony in Nevada law. Therefore, attorneys and judges must examine a variety of factors, as well as collateral circumstances of the marriage, in order to determine the most fair and accurate spousal support arrangement. Factors affecting the level of spousal support include:
- Income of both spouses
- Length of the marriage
- Future earning capacity of both spouses
- Health of both spouses
- Unemployment or underemployment of one spouse
- Past financial assistance
- Education of both spouses
- Assets and debts of the spouses
- History of the relationship
Seeking Fair and Acceptable Spousal Support Arrangements
At Escobar & Associates, we seek alimony arrangements that are fair and acceptable for both parties. We can also assist you with rehabilitative spousal support, which can provide you with financial assistance while you obtain education or training to find a higher paying job.
